New Research Awards In NanoMedicine
In September 2009, the nanomedicine working group, led at CR campus by the Nanotechnology Center and at the medical campus by the Evans Center, called for internal proposals to seed collaborative efforts in basic science and discovery in nanomedicine, with the goal to enable researchers to test new ideas, build interdisciplinary teams, and generate the preliminary data necessary for successful applications to external funding agencies.
